poisoned by the general?
Alvin stared at Ryker from head to toe, then back again. “Remove your hoodie. I assume you've agreed, right?” Ryker nodded. After these few minutes with Alvin, he no longer seemed cold and untouchable. The mysterious general was quite human, and sentimental. “Woah!” Alvin suddenly exclaimed, grabbing Ryker's shoulders wide eyed. His eyes went down to his belly. Ryker shuddered, creeped out. “Man, this is crazy.” Alvin exclaimed, turning him this way and that way like one inspecting a limited edition game pad. He pushed Alvin away, wondering if he had tumbled into the hands of a crazy perverted creep. Alvin whistled. “You developed internal energy on your own, without anyone offering you guidance. You didn't die from qi deviation, or get injured, you actually opened up an energy core and guided it in. Genius. I picked up a gem.” Alvin was awed. The other day he investigated Ryker; there was no trace of internal energy. Just an unnatural physical resilience and determinat
Surreal
Five minutes late, could something have happened to him? Alvin sighed for the umpteenth time, pacing the top of the hill he had chosen as a meeting point. It was just above a park, secluded, perfect for testing people. However, the guest still hasn't shown up. Ryker didn't appear as someone with the habit of being tardy, could something have gone wrong? Alvin hissed, and adjusted his mask. Pacing only made him more frustrated, so he found a boulder, and sat cross legged, taking advantage of the night air to gather life energy from the surrounding trees. He didn't know how long it was, but he felt a familiar aura among the throng of people loitering in the park. He opened his eyes, and slowly exhaled to search for him. There in the park was the source of the familiar aura. Rex Dominius, on his bike. Alvin hissed in disappointment. Then came the indecision. Should he go over to say hello or not? After all, they could pass for friends. But then, he was in a disguise, on a
Followed again
The moment the car pulled out, everyone seemed to have exhaled a breath they didn't know they were holding. “Boss, what do they want with you?” Ryker didn't look at the speaker, his mind faraway. “Don't know.” He then turned to his boys. “From now on, don't let your family come here to bring lunch or dinner. This place seems like it would get dangerous real soon, better to keep others away from shit. They don't look like the type to take no, and I don't understand their intentions yet.” One of the apprentices kept staring at Ryker, he was younger than the rest. “Boss, be honest, did you piss off anyone recently? First was the masked man then this. Weird people keep appearing.” Ryker gave him a side eye and kept silent. One of the older apprentices nudged Ken. “Hey, have you realized that our boss seems different ever since that mystery man came days ago?” Ryker's ears perked up, and he turned slightly towards them. “Different? How?” The apprentice shook his head. “I don't
More trouble than it's worth
The notion was terrifying for Ryker, not because he feared danger, but because he didn't want his family to be affected. Thankfully, he had asked Xinara and the rest of his family to stop coming to him. If he needed to see them, he would find covert ways to do it. From the moment he made up his mind to go with the general, his thoughts had been on how to keep his family safe amidst the danger that was sure to follow his new choice. Who would have expected that his new choice would come in handy and not even for the purpose he originally intended? This predator before him seemed exactly like the type with no bottomline. He must absolutely never let them find out his weak spots. “What's internal energy?” Ryker blurted out the opposite of what he thought. Before the grand master could answer, he raised a hand to stop him. “It doesn't matter anyway. I'm so sorry I wasted your time and fuel, but I'm really not interested in your offer. Never will be. If I was the type looking

Speed lane garage The moment Ryker rode into the workshop, he knew something was wrong. Percy was outside the broken gates, and an expensive car was parked just outside the gate, blocking the entrance. Ryker managed to weave between obstacles, because of his years of professional driving experience, involving many extreme activities. Percy rushed to him without waiting for him to park the bike. He removed the helmet, and got down, swinging his head to give his hair some air space. “Boss, someone is here again to see you, and they seem to be a big deal.” “Ah?” Ryker was confused. Didn't he already promise the General? They even fixed a time to meet later. Why was another person here? Percy looked uncomfortable and subtly motioned to the limited edition customised blood-red Rolls Royce boat tail, which was blocking the entrance. “Bro, be careful. The moment they arrived, I felt a chill deep down. Who did you offend? Weird people seem to be hovering around you a whole lot. T
complicated feelings
VILLA NUMBER SEVEN The house was eerily quiet. Most people were done with their cultivations, now sleeping. Alvin was the only exception. He was still hunched over his workstation, investigating trails left by senator Bertrand. “This conspiracy runs deeper than expected. If all these high ranking officials are part of the evil organization, then it would get more troublesome than I expected.” “Master, another lab affiliated to the evil organization detected. Do you want to send a satellite to take a peep?” Alvin kept silent. There have been lots of reports of gifted kids getting missing and it got worse after he confiscated their cargo, as if the evil organization was racing against time itself. The amount of youth blood being lost was alarming. If Alvin didn't know better, he would have thought that a core member got severely injured and needed the blood for rejuvenation. He sighed again, indeed, this was too troublesome. “System, I've not gotten everything in place. I ca
